I totally agree. Trump is clearly a very smart man.

No regular folk could have achieved as much as him.

1 point

Because everyone wants their view of the world validated.

No one likes uncertainty. I for one do not. I like to hear other perspectives in a non-aggressive manner.

I think God did what had to be done, in order to get humans to get along with each other. I've seen how idiotic people can be, they need a firm hand to get rid of those animalistic and immature tendencies.

They knew alcohol was bad, and tried to make it illegal. Yet, the criminal organisations rose up and used tricks to overwhelm the government. The fact that alcohol is now legal is actually a historical win of criminal gangs over law enforcement. So many people drank, that the cops and gov just gave up.

Many parents love their children more ... not all. I've seen the exceptions, and they aren't pretty. Many children hide it.

By providing preventive health care, there would be less incidents of sick people while they are young as well as when they are old. Furthermore, they will take less sick days (consequently, contributing to the economy, rather than taking away from it).

Consequently, I'd have to go with Patient A's situation. Why?

Patient A will have more working days that generate money.

Patient A will spread disease less, and consequently, as a population, less people will need treatment.

Patient A may need health care in their old age, however, old people are more likely to volunteer and contribute to the economy. Those that don't do not have to be covered. Retirement benefits for people that aren't working anymore cost companies more money than health care, and most other social services, yet no one speaks up.

Healthcare costs are paid upfront, if they are going towards people, and not into people's wallets. Overall, the benefits to the economy include:

1) Less incidents of outbreaks which are expensive to contain (look at Africa)

2) Early identification of outbreaks, since sick people will be going to the doctor

3) Earlier creation of cures, since new diseases can be identified earlier

4) A healthier more efficient workforce, for professions that do directly contribute to the GDP

5) Better trained workforce in the future, since children will take fewer sick days.

As I have said before, contraception and condoms should be freely available and not taboo. The taboo of contraceptive means by the Catholic church in South Africa, contributed to the high rate of HIV transmission there.

A person's situation that they are born into more often than not, defines their learning opportunities, skill sets, job and financial opportunities. While work ethic is part of the picture, it isn't all of it.

People still are judged for how they look and where they come from. This is a deal breaker socially as well as in the workplace.

I do believe that the irresponsible shouldn't be rewarded. However, since diseases spread, this is something that cannot be played around with. Of all professions, medicine requires the highest levels of integrity due to the danger that mishandling of situations can cause. Even if this means higher costs.

We are talking about healthcare, not the other things. I believe there are issues with divorce laws, child care laws, social service laws etc ...

Trump is interesting, I'm reading his book, and he doesn't seem to be like the person he is portraying on TV. However, if I look at his executives, I've noticed that they aren't very multicultural (as well as his social circle growing up).

Now here is the thing, I've met brilliant, and I mean brilliant leaders of all races and cultures. So I've been wondering why they don't seem to rise or cooperate well together. It seems only western leaders really innovate publicly.

Especially, since he basis his business out of New York, the lack of diversity in his higher echelon is odd.

Furthermore, Trump wouldn't drop the fact that Obama wasn't born in America previously ... wasn't that odd?

I'm talking about the lower class and lower middle class. Better, they find a work around, rather than anyone not having access.

The costs are due to medical and insurance company corruption. Many other countries, offer health care for a fraction of the cost in the US, with the same or better quality.

What Trump doesn't realize is that they check most immigrants coming into the states. However, those going into Mexico, are not screened.

I've never heard of a war that didn't put the country in debt. Have you? Since antiquity, its been known by royalty that war strains resources until the enemies resources are gained.

By free stuff, do you mean those investments in the future of the country (something conservatives do not do?)? For example, education, health care, sciences etc ...

The premium on health care is paid upfront due to all those untreated diseases floating around, and due to ... wait for it ... inflated medical salaries! The number 1 cost driver!

I do not believe religion is the source of evil. What I believe is happening is that more often than not, powerful and rich people, utilize religion to control "groupthink", and send people to wars, and killing others.

However, this doesn't mean that religion is good.

For example, many of the writings are based on the common biases of the writers of the times.

I've met white Catholics who did strange things with animals, they simply didnt get as much publicity. In fact, since I grew up in a Catholic neighborhood and was Catholic, I know all the nitty gritty.

The media isn't going to fool me.

I believe that the reason why a lot of people were willing to risk their lives to fight for reasons they didn't quite understand were either religion or survival.

I consider the Hitler's rise, a rise due to him exploiting the people's fear of economy crashing (survival), and unfair deals.

Historically, all religious people tend to kill people of religions that are very similar to their own.

It has to get much worse, before it gets better. Hitler made the world realize how far racial supremacy could go. Prior to that, no one thought it was a big deal.

Gail Gaddot isn't a good wonder woman. Gina Carano would have been a better one as an ex-mma fighter.

Gaddot's movements aren't of a person who is naturally used to exercising or fighting.

Definitely harmful, but it is safer than face to face confrontations.

At least if you snap with Cyberbullying, the stronger party wont snap the other person's neck.

1 point

Religious people do this. They are constantly doing it to each other and ridiculing each other's religions, when in reality, they are no different from each other.

Christianity in the old Testament is no different from Islam.

The Jewish religion is just as violent as Islam in the Torah.

1 point

Evolution isn't a belief, it is a fact. We can witness it on a bacterial level on a petri dish. We witness it with selective plant breeding and dog breeding. It has been proven via the scientific method.

Everything you have around you is due to the scientific method ... not religion.

All religion has done in the past is impede expression of free speech. One such example is what happened with Galileo.

Also, with regards to Rosie O'Donald not being a mean person, here is what she did to piss off Donald Trump: https://youtu.be/64YhFQ99a-c

You are so biased, as to think that all girls that get attacked verbally, do nothing to instigate it. You clearly do not have much experience dealing with "Cunts". Furthermore, this isn't the only thing she has said on public TV. She is a sociopath, just like Trump.

Yes, you have a point. However, these are a minority of cases.

Furthermore, a person who is impoverished at one point will not necessarily stay impoverished.

1 point

No, not until they can take care of themselves.

They tend to create more people who are incapable of taking care of themselves.

Furthermore, there are plenty of very developed non-Christian countries, whose are quite peaceful and developed despite what the West is lead to believe, these include:

Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, Malayasia, Japan, Hong Kong, the UAE, Qatar, Israel, etc ... in many ways, these countries are currently doing better than America.

Different, but developed. Let me give you an example of something that is cool from South Korea: https://youtu.be/3qfsusYa8ZQ

I do see the wonderful things that Chrisitians do, as well as the wonderful things that people of other religions do. What you see is only the wonderful things that Christians do, and nothing that other religions do.

This type of mentality will cause people from other religions to outcast you.

1 point

You spew closed mindedness. I did give you examples from America and everywhere else in the world.

You call me a bigot, when your words reflect that of an extremist (or a person who creates extremists).

1 point

I think that your main problem is that you care too much about what other people do. Especially, when those things are none of your business, and do not effect you in any way or form. Your personality type is the reason for countless wars.
